Month: July 2017

Well for what seems to be the first time ever I may actually finish a project (its not I’ve finished games before).

It’s just a quick text adventure that I’ve only made to practice using the tools available to me, But I’m glad to have finished it and now I can get started on a new game and a full fledged text adventure game.

This is a short reveiw ‘thing’ I wrote a few years back for a video game blog called Console Mash

Now I’m a big fan of the Stargate franchise (and Madness may even be its biggest fan). So when i found this whilst looking through the Internet Archive, I got very excited.

Based on the original movie, This game was released in 1995 by Acclaim for both the Sega Megadrive/Genesis and the Super Nintendo.

Its kind of a weird mash up between aside scrolling shooter and a platformer. The game follows the same plot points as the movie (save Abydos from the tyranny of Ra) but also creates a few new side quests such as find and collect missions as well.

Even though it hasn’t aged very well in terms of game play (it feels a bit clunky and most enemies seem to be lower then you can actually aim), It does still look very pretty, But if your a Stargate fan its a welcome addition to the franchise and seeing there are no other Stargate video games about apart for a cancelled MMO, A defunct third person shooter and an arcade machine which is actually a which is actually defender 2 and was released way before the movie Its kind of a must if youbare a video game and Stargate fan.

Hopefully the Reboot of the franchise that began planning in 2013 will bring us some more Stargate games to play, Lets just hope there good.

Its been about a decade since the last Fire Pro Wrestling (If we don’t count that poor excuse for a game on the 360) and the first released in the UK s

since the Game Boy Advance version came out in 2001 and I’m so glad its back.

Right before we get started this is in early access but don’t let that put you off there plenty here for the price.

So lets have a look. The game has kept its classic 2D arcade style game play whilst adding a lot of new moves and a new strike system that thankfully replaces the old test of strength system that was always a bit of a pain.

Fire Pro veteran’s maybe disappointed by the amount of customization options but new comers maybe overwhelmed by the sheer number of options that are available (I know that sounds a bit contradictory but its true).

Spike have said that many more customization options are on there way when the full game comes out.

Speaking of new comers, there’s a fantastic new mode called mission mode that allows players to get to grip with the games controls. Mission mode allows to go through the slandered tutorial section as in most games nowadays but then presents you with a huge amount of missions to put your new found skills to the test.

Well there’s a very quick run down of Fire Pro Wrestling World as I said its still in early access but its still a fantastic game and a must for any wrestling fan.

I’ve always wanted to write and to be honest it didn’t matter what I wrote, I just wanted to.

So I thought I’d start again on this blog, now I may not be very good what with spelling and sentence structure, but as someone once told me “the more you write the better you’ll get at it (Practice makes perfect)” so I’m giving it a go.

I’m going to try to post at least three times a week and try to keep to a schedule. These posts could be about anything really probably video games and just a slice of life. So anyway if anyone reads these things then great and if not it’s still all practice.
